Implementation and methods of teaching

In the course, a work or works will be created in which one of the starting points for the use of colour is the relationship of colour and material to the body. This combination will include a variety of themes, changing from semester to semester, as well as guest teachers. In the autumn semester 2023, the course will also focus on performance art, with Aura Hakuri as a guest teacher.

The course will also consider what kind of sensations / bodily reactions the experience of the work evokes in the viewer, and explore what is your own relationship to the materials you use and their colours.

During the course, teachers will also give lectures.

The exercises on the course will be carried out with a variety of materials and techniques.

The work or body of work resulting from the exercises will be the subject of a course critique.
